a few words about HDTV Your purchase of this upgradeable Mitsubishi HDTV puts you at the begin - ning of a revolutionary new way to watch television . Beginning in the Fall of 1998 digital broadcasting will begin on a limited basis in selected major cities in the United States . By the year 2005 , all stations must have 100 percent of their programs available on their DTV channel . Programs will still be avail - able through current analog ( NTSC ) TV sets at least until 2006 . Digital signals are sent over the airwaves , the same way as the broadcast stations you currently receive . The similarity ends here , as digitally sent pictures are of a much higher quality than analog signals . Each Major ( main ) channel will have several Minor ( sub ) channels . When DTV is available in your area , you can purchase an optional Mitsubishi HDTV receiver . This allows you to buy the most advanced receiver technol - ogy when your area of the country is ready to receive digital signals . Because digital television technology is so new , the way programs will be broadcast and the services that will be provided are subject to change .
